San Francisco’s Minimum Wage Increases in 2014

Effective January 1, 2014 San Francisco’s minimum wage increases by $0.19 cents to $10.74 per hour. The San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (OLSE) handles the Minimum Wage, Paid Sick Leave and Health Care Security Ordinances, as well as, the recently enacted  Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance.

Specifically, the San Francisco minimum wage increase applies to all employers in the city with employees who perform at least two hours of work in a particular week.

Additionally, every employer must post in a conspicuous place at any workplace or job site where any employee works the notice published each year by the Agency informing employees of the current Minimum Wage rate and of their rights. Employers must post the minimum wage notice in English, Spanish, Chinese and any other language spoken by at least five percent of the employees at the workplace or job site. Finally, every employer must also provide each employee at the time of hire the employer’s name, address and telephone number in writing.
